CBSE Class 12 Fine Arts The Modern Trends in Indian Art Worksheet

 

 

Indian art during the period 1900-1925 came to be dominated by the Bengal School but the revivalists failed to strike any permanency because of the lack of originality. They will be remembered for their effort to revive the classical Indian tradition based on epic and mythology through their paintings. But they lacked the social consciousness of the classical times of Indian history and indifferent to contemporary Indian values. Abanindranath and Nandlal Bose will be remembered as pioneer of a movement which failed. The artists after 1925 refused slavish imitation of the mannerism of the art of the past. They felt that such imitation shackle the imagination of the artists and not liberate it. Such art remained only and illustrative art unable to express the intensity of the times. Gaganendranath though a contemporary, tried cubistic painting influenced by European cubism. Rabindranath in his painting tried expressionism. A host of other artists like Nirod Mayumdar, Rathin Maitra, Gopal Ghosh, Paritosh Sen attempted a change in their outlook on art. Figurative drawing has been replaced by abstract painting trying to search beauty in formlessness. Somnath Hore, Jyoti Bhatt, Anupam Sud brought variety in Modern Indian Art by their graphic prints.
